Jordan Shoots Down UAV near Syrian Border

A Jordanian missile shot down an unidentified unmanned aerial vehicle hovering over the Al-Mafraq region, north-east the capital Amman, according to a report, early Friday by Al-Arabiya. Sources said the plane came from the kingdom’s northern border and flew near the Zaatari refugee camp, which is home to around 100,000 Syrian refugees.

A Jordanian official told Agence France Presse, "It was a violation of Jordan's airspace. Jordan will take measures at a high level after identifying the drone."
